Introduction Of Cotton into the
United States.

Spain was the first of the European
States to grow cotton. 1t was intro
duced here by the Moors in the tenth
century. The first cotton was planted
in the United States in 1921. Car
rolls Historical Collection of South
Carolina" mentions the growth of the
cotton plant in that province in 1866.
In 1886 it was planted in gardens in
Talbot county, Maryland, latitude
thirty-nine north. At the commence
ment of the revolutionary war, Gen.
Delagall was said to have had thirty
acres planted in cotton near Savan-
nah, Georgia. 1t is stated that i'll 174S.
among the exports of Charleston, S.
c., were seven bags Of cotton wool,
valued at three pounds eleven shillings
and five pence q bag. Another small
shipment was made in 1854, and in
1870 three more, amounting to ten
bales. In 1881, eight bales shipped to
England were seized on the ground
that SO much cotton could not be pro-
duced in the United States The first
Sea Island cotton. was grown on the
coast OF Georgia in 1886, and it's eX-
portation commenced in 1888, by Alex
ander Bissel of ST. Simons Island. In
1871 the cotton crop of the United
States was two million pounds, of
which three-fourths was grown in
Georgia. Ten years later, 1901, forty
eight million pounds were produced
twenty million pounds of which was
exported.
The United States have long since
excelled all other countries in the
quantity and quality of the cotton pro-
duced. India ranks next in import
ance in its supply of cotton to the
United States, but its fiber is far in
ferior to the American. The other
cotton producing countries worthy of
mention are the East Indies, Egypt.
Brazil, the West Indies and Guinea

armed with rifles, let them make their way
one to the right side of the kraal and one
to the left; and when thou, Macumazahn,
lowest like an OK, all shall open fire with
the guns upon the sleeping men, being very
careful not to hit the little maid. Then
shall Bougwan, at the far end, and his ten
men raise their war cry, and, springing
over the wall, put the Nasal there TO the
sword. And it shall happen that, being
yet heavy with food and sleep, and Devil
dered by the firing of the guns, the falling
OF men, and the spears of Bougwan, the
soldiers shall rise and rush like wild game
toward the thorn stopped entrance; and
there the bullets from either side shall
pillow through them, and there shall Incu-
bu and the Askari and wait for those who
break through. Such is my plan, Macum-
azahn; if thou hast better, name it.''
when he had done, 1 explained to the
others such portions of this scheme as they
had failed to understand, and they all
joined with me in expressing the greatest
admiration of the acute and skillful pro-
gramme devised by the old Zulu, who was,
indeed, in his own savage fashion, the
finest general l eyer knew. After some
discussion, we determined to accept the
scheme as it stood, as being the best posi-
BILE under the circumstances, and giving as
fair a chance of success as such q forlorn
hope would admit of-Which, however,
considering the enormous odds and the
character of our foe; was not very great.
"Ah, old wolfr' l said to Umslopogaas.

where to hang on

Sixty years of a busy journalists life a
Washington are epitomized in Mai. Ben.
Perley Poore's two superb volumes One
of the admirers of the Major recently said
that 'at iudicious ripe period of life the
Major stopped growing old, and since then,
like some of the choice old Madeira of which
he writes with so much feeling, he has only
been accumulating boquet and flavor" Mai
Poore has been one of the best known and
one of the most knowing men in Washing
ton society for half century. lie has the
sunny temperament delighting in bright, So
cial intercourse. Yet his connection with
daily journalism and his position in the
Y. 5. Senate placed him always in the thick
Of political affairs and social gossip He was
ever in the Washington Swim" and neve
failed to hear or see what was said and
done.
The Major could never be very solemn
and in his ripened sketches Of Washington
life every phase reminds him Of half a dozen
amusing anecdotes lie has a rare rift in
telling a story, and his anecdotes are mex
haustible.
His book will not only add lustrc to his
fame as a writer, but is Of SO unique char
acter and so intensely interesting in matter
that it will prove a valuable contribution to
the literature Of the country. 1t has mirth
for the mirthful, wit for the witty, inform
tion for ALL and we doubt If it has been
equalled by any subscription book since the
war. ------ -
